OutPost Arts were commissioned by Langholm Academy to work with a group of six S2-S6 students to create a large-scale exterior play-space mural for local childcare provider Langholm Playcare.
The project aims to connect students with their community in new ways, creating opportunities to take leadership roles, learn new transferable skills including project management, communication, budgeting, research, design and realisation. Supported by OutPost Arts' key worker, the group worked with Playcare staff and children to conceive of, plan and present a suitable design with the theme of 'local nature with an Alice in Wonderland twist'. With our client happy with the draft design drawings, OutPost facilitated weekly painting sessions at Langholm Academy to create the final painted panels.
The mural will be in situ in April 2020.
